Sublime Text Settings I Use

It’s always interesting to find out how people set up their coding environment. To be honest I don’t think I’ll ever get the perfect setup but what I currently have does a pretty good job.

Tweaking your Sublime Text settings is relatively easy but can be a little daunting if you are fan of a GUI. Within Sublime all settings are handled by a simple JSON file. They can be found either under the Sublime Text menu (Sublime Text 2 -> Preferences -> Settings – User) or by the shortcut (Command + .).

User Settings

So these are my current settings. All of them are pretty self-explanatory.

Theme

I roll with the dark version of the Soda theme with the default Monokai colour scheme.

Packages

Package Control — This package is the package to help install all other packages. Once installed, just open the command palette (Command + Shift + p). Type ‘Package Control’ and choose your desired action.

Obviously the above suits my workflow, so take the settings and packages with a grain of salt. But if you have any specific settings or packages that are essential to the way you work, please comment below. You might save me or someone else some time!

Great post! GitGutter and SublimeLinter are awesome. But how did you make them work together? When I change something, the GitGutter indicators hide the ones from SublimeLinter. Do you have the same problem?

Thanks to Jake and to everyone else who posted their settings! I just started using Sublime Text today (version 3) after using Dreamweaver for so many years and I really like it a lot! Fast and stable and so many customizations! Thanks again everyone!!!
